    My review here does not apply to Scott's ability as a fix-it guy. This is not something I can comment on as our appointment did not go through. Rather, my issue is his lack of professionalism in scheduling. We had reached out to Scott regarding an issue with our washing machine. He responded with a video, but being the un-handy people that we are, my husband and I requested an in-home appointment to repair our washer. Scott agreed, and we scheduled for a week later, as he had nothing available on his calendar. During the week I had to lug all of our laundry to the laundromat (I know, first world problems), so by the time the weekend came we were looking forward to our Monday appointment. My husband also took the day off so that he could make Scott's availability in the mid-afternoon. The night before our appointment, Scott emailed to ask for our address, which we advised was in Alameda. Mind you, when we booked the appointment, his coverage area indicated El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Alameda. Scott then responded that he doesn't cover Alameda, and that he wouldn't be able to service our machine. When we advised him that his Yelp profile included these cities as coverage areas, he said that he would need to change that to reflect only El Cerrito and Berkeley. That's it - no offer to make an exception since the appointment was made the prior week, no explanation as to why he didn't confirm our location when making the appointment, no apology for the time off that my husband had to take from work to make his appointment - nothing. The only upside is that Scott did offer us two referrals who may have availability the next day (hence the 2nd star). Thankfully for us, they were both responsive and we ultimately selected a fantastic repairman based out of Walnut Creek to come by the next day. I'm happy to pass along that repairman's contact information if anyone is interested.

    Washer and dryer - A stacked front-loading washing machine and dryer are positioned in a laundry room. The appliances have a metallic finish with large circular doors. Nearby, a small white shelf holds cleaning supplies, including detergent bottles and spray bottles. A curtain with the text 'FROM NATURE' partially covers the background, and the floor is concrete with a wooden mat in front of the appliances.

    Scott did a great job. Highly recommended!! He was very friendly and gave me useful information when using the washer and dryer.

    If he can't--and nothing here says he does--where do I go to have a new blender drive coupling (the thing that grabs onto the blades of the graduate and makes them spin) shoved onto my Kitchen Aid blender,..in other words, small-appliance repair?

    I know there is a guy in Walnut Creek that repairs mixers. He should be on Yelp for Walnut Creek

    He immediately responded by suggesting that I pour boiling hot water in my dishwasher and then cycle it again.

It was a no-pressure, informative approach that I appreciate when you're dealing with something you don't know anything about. Mark was calm, friendly, approachable and professional. He clearly explained and showed me what the issue was, how it happens, and how to properly maintain the dryer going forward. He cleaned up after himself (which I appreciate) and I was left with an almost new dryer! Hoping I won't need to but will definitely be reaching out again when the next appliance goes out!

He showed up when he said he would and communicated with me throughout. I am currently renting out my house and not residing there, so good communication was particularly important. He quickly diagnosed and repaired the dryer. The dishwasher was more complex. Again, he communicated with me on a regular basis. When it looked like the repairs would be expensive, he walked through the options with me and showed that a replacement would likely be the better choice, even though he would have made money off the repair. In the end, I did choose to replace it and Bo didn't charge me for the time he spent working on the dishwasher. I would definitely use Zuta again. Some of the qualities I liked about the experience was Bo's competence, honesty, reliability, good communication, and the quality of his work.

Our tech Chris arrived and worked fast and let us know our compressor failed, gave us a couple options and we went forward with the fix. He got it done in a couple of hours on a holiday and we were super appreciative. The price seemed about right for the repair and best of all our fridge was working again.

    I'd give six stars if it was possible. This is the only person you need to call. After a…read morerecommendation from a colleague, I called Matthew to service 2 Wedgewood stoves in 2 apartments. He was punctual, knowledgeable, kind, and reasonably priced. An all-around win! Months later I had another problem (I moved the stove to paint a wall and knocked things out of place). I called Matthew who patiently walked me through the process of locating reset buttons and adjusting misaligned tubes, fixing my issue over the phone, right there and then. I wholeheartedly recommend Reliance Appliance to all my gas-stove-having friends, and to strangers on the internet. As the youth say, "No notes."

I was aggravated, for we have had the range serviced several times, yet every year or two, new gas leaks would appear. I was getting ready to give up on having a vintage range, for though I had been promised that it was built like a tank and would work forever with maintenance, I was tired of paying for nearly annual visits to address new fails, each time after wondering for a couple of weeks if I was imagining the gas smell before calling PGE to verify that yes, I am smelling gas. On this visit Matt came out to fully address the repeated fails, far more thoroughly than my previous experiences. He ensured that quality parts were utilized, that the knobs were rigged so that they wouldn't cause fails, and ingeniously weighted the oven door so that it will stay fully open or shut; previously springs had been upgraded, but after a few months the door would creep partially open, so that oven temp couldn't be maintained. The stovetop and oven work better than they ever have in our 13 years of living here - the knobs turn smoothly, the gas comes out more fully and cleanly, the oven holds temperature, and best of all, no more gas leaks, and I believe that this time the repairs will hold, since Matt was so thorough. Matt said that he will stand by his work and ensure that this range continues to operate safely, which I appreciate, since I realized that at this time I'd really rather not have to re-wire the kitchen to accommodate an induction range.
